Jazz Turner is a British sailor based on the south coast near Brighton. Jazz was born with a progressive genetic condition called Ehlers Danlos Syndrome (EDS). By the age of 19 her condition deteriorated, and she became a full-time wheelchair user.

Jazz’s story is one of inspiration, dedication and positivity. Despite the challenges she faced, she has never let her disability get in the way of her love of sailing. She typically sails in the RS Venture Connect, which is a double handed para boat which brings a new level of design and adaptability to disabled sailing. Jazz has won a silver and bronze medal at the last two RS Venture Connect World Championships respectively. She also sails on her 27ft yacht named Fear.

In June 2025, Jazz is attempting to become the first female wheelchair user to complete a solo, non-stop, unassisted circumnavigation of the UK and Ireland.
